The Story
1420 East 8th Avenue
You want room to spread out. You want privacy. And you want to be close to everything Mount Dora does well. This home on a quiet cul-de-sac gives you all three. Step inside and find three bedrooms, three bathrooms, and a layout that flexes around how you actually live. A separate one-bedroom in-law studio sits off its own private entrance. Rent it out. Set up a guest suite. Build the game room you have always wanted. Run your business from a home office that never interrupts the rest of the house. The choice is yours. Out back, the lot opens into a wooded retreat. Neighbors fall out of view. A spacious deck anchors the yard, crowned by a one-of-a-kind pergola you will not find anywhere else. Fig, cherry, and papaya trees give you something to harvest. Herbs round out the garden. A detached workshop handles your projects and your storage. An extra-long driveway means your guests always have a place to park. The big work is already done. A new roof went on in 2022. A tankless water heater was added in 2023. The plumbing was updated with CPVC, and the electrical was brought current. Fresh interior paint runs throughout. Then there is the location. You sit one mile from downtown Mount Dora, the heart of a town that calls itself Festival City for good reason. Spend your weekends among locally owned shops, restaurants with no chains allowed downtown, art strolls, and more than thirty festivals a year. Walk to the Ice House Theater. Browse Renninger's Antique Center a mile away, one of the largest antique destinations in the South. Recreation starts at your doorstep. Forres Playground and Recreation and Nature Park sits nearby, with a bike trail, frisbee golf, and a small boat ramp onto Little Lake Franklin. The city-owned retired orange grove gives your dogs open space to run, with no future development planned. Two blocks away you reach the baseball fields, community pool, tennis and racquetball courts, and a dog park. Publix, Lowes, and Walgreens all sit within two miles, so everyday errands stay simple. This is your chance to own a home that pairs real upgrades with outdoor living and walkable access to one of Central Florida's most beloved small towns. Come see what life here feels like.
